WASHINGTON, OCTOBER Q7, 1887
MORE CONVENTION GOSSIP.

The Minneapolis Tribune extends to
the Republican National Committee a
column.and half invitation or appeal
TO select that place for the meeting Of
the next Republican National Conven-
tIon.
One of Its arguments is that no such
convention has ever been held west OF
the Mississippi River, while Chicago
has been thus honored four times since
1860 and Baltimore and Philadelphia
once each. The accessibility OF Mime
apolis from all directions is also set
forth In detail In regard to accommo.
da,ions the Tribune mentions about
thirty hotels nj Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Lake Dlinnetonka, with I,70j
rooms, capable of holding 12,9l5
guests, besides hundred smaller
hostelries, with an aggregate capacity
of 10000 to $4,000.
For hall In which TO meet 1t would
use the audience floor Of the Minneapo-
lis Exposition building which can be
made to seat 10000 persons.
Then there are political considora-
lions involved that we are assured
ought not TO be overlooked. Something
must be done to countcract the efforts
OF Democratic administration to cap.
ture the Notwithstanding to
make the Republicans of the country
acquainted with their brethren of the
neighboring territory of Dakota and
with their claims for admission to
statehood.
In what particular way the holding
Of National Convention at Minneapo.
lis would make votes enough In Con.
gress to let South Dakota In, If Dem.
ocratic majority were disposed to keep
her out, the author of the invitation
fails to explain; neither is 1t altogether
clear how the proposed convention is
going to head of the inroads of Demo.
cratic patronage in that direction. But
this is fair sample of the talk In.
dulged In by every locality that wants
the honor and emoluments Of enter.
tanning National Convention.
They all present some claim that is
represented as being of vital import.
ance in political sense, but which, in
nine cases out Of ten, parts with all the
consequence It ever had within q week
after the convention adjourns.
Where there Is number of com.
peiing candidates and the question of
selection becomes sectional one, the
matter of locality has its influence

Mr.. LATRoBE was elected Mayor of
Baltimore yesterday by a majority con-
siderably larger than he received for
the same office In 1888, and double that
given to Mayor Hodges two years ago,
The combination against him proves to
have been sadly deficient in elements of
popular strength, or, what is more
probable, in elements of leadership and
capacity for organization. Still, the
Baltimore Sun consoles the opposition
by saying that "the vote cast for the
Republican candidate, Mr. Bartlett, was
a handsome compliment to one of our
worthiest and most public spirited citl-
zens, whose personal qualities gave
greatly increased strength and respect
ability to a movement which masked
Its real purposes to q great extent under
cover of his good name" The vote OF
the United Labor party cuts an inap'
preciable figure In the returns, and
must have been captured by the Demo-
cratic managers.

The best, readlest and cheapest way of get
ting rid of the surplus, under present laws, Is
10 spend 1t in paying the national debt.

Treasury authorities are now doing, would bo

ing business on his debtors paper and
not in need of the money; and II, at the
same time, the debtor, though abund.
antly able to pay all he owes, can find
more profitable use for his surplus re-
sources than buying in his notes be-
fore they are due. where docs the
"knavery" or "imbecility" come in ?
An arrangement between creditor
and debtor, advantageous to both,
whereby the relation between creditor
and debtor is continued on equitable
and amicable terms, implies no dis.
honor nor any want Of business
sagacity.
1t may be the best thing for the Gov.
ernment to spend Its surplus in paying
off the National debt, but circumstances
are readily conceivable under which it
might be the wiser policy to expend 1t
for other purposes. We cannot, at any
rate, perceive the particular wisdom of
paying off bonds that lie at the founda
tlon Of our banking system and that
may be funded for long time at still
lower rate than they now bear, so long
as other more urgent requirements, In
volving large expenditures, remain to
be provided for.
If there are no such requirements,
other than can be met by the ordinary
receipts of the Treasury, would not the
revision of the tariff and reduction of
duties be an even better way of prevent.

The human digestive apparatus is one

The ProhIbitionIsts Of Franklin.

Pursuant to call of the Chairman of
the Comfy Prohibition Executive Com
! mittce, a meeting was held this day TO
elect delegates TO the State Convention,
and TO transact snch other business az
might come before the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by s. S.
Montgomery and j. II. McGeheo was
elected Secretary pro TEN.
On motion, q. NJ. Cain, T.. Is. Scale,
X. $. Newman and s. w. Joiner were
appointed rs committee to draw mp
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting, and reported the following
which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, LIST. That approaching the
blessings of Prohibition in our county,
and anticipating the great good to accrue
to our State by prohibiting the sale of
whisky, we send our hearty good cheer to
those counties that are laboring for Pro-
hibitiOn in their bounds.
Resolved, 2nd. That we are opposed
to, and will not involve the Prohibition
cause in party politics, but do affirm
that drnnkards are unworthy of the sup
port of the people.
Resolved 3rd. That we heartily ap-
prove of the Local Option law, and will
oppose by all legal and honorable means
return to the old plan of granting
license.
Resolved 4th. That any proposition to
accept high license as compromise is an
insult to our intelligence and manhood.
And we do again affirm that we are OPP
posed to the liquor licenses from principle
and will never cease our efforts until il
is prohibited by amendment to the Con-
stitution.
On motion, NJ. f. Byrd, E. B. Scale,

Horticulture Around Brookhaven.
We find the following i'll Col. Dement'S
department of the New Orleans Plea
yune:
IA movement is on foot to organize a
horticultural society in Brookhaven,
Miss, as the first step to a forward prac-
teal movement in market gardening, or
truck farming and fruit growing in Lin
coin county. Some of the mer-
chants will go into it, and all of them will
favor it. They desire to establish gar
dens, orchards and vineyards that will
be of Importance enough to attract
special attention of the railroad COM
pany, and to secure advantages of trans
portation such as Crystal Springs, Terry
and Madison Station enjoy. Brookhaven
has plenty of land around it we'll adapt
ed to horticulture, and enough intelli-
gent hortculturalists to make be-
ginning in this branch of Industry. We
will say more as soon as the society is
organized.
THE BROOKHAvEN LEADER hears of a
number of persons in that vicinity who
contemplate going into the truck farm
ing business next year. In our opinion
Lincoln county offers rs fine inducements
to the fruit and vegetable farmers as eth
er Copiah or Madison, and yet those in
dustries are pursued with great profit in
the counties named. With the advant-
ages for shipment marketing and storage
afforded by the Illinois Central railroad,
it will not be long ere Mississippi will
largely control the markets of st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago Kansas
City and tho other large western and
northwestern cities in the matter OF fruits
and vegetables. She already supplies
them to large extent, and almost mo-
nopOlizes the early delivery of straw
berries and tomatoes.-4berdeen Er0m-
